Shaun actually isn't on the list I have in front of me (which admittedly may not be definitive), which I find a little odd unless it's an artistic decision from Bethesda considering the character already bearing that name and his relation to the story.

The closest I can find from a quick search is either Shane or Shen. Not ideal, I know.

Fallout 4.... love the fact that Codsworth constantly calls me "Mr. Keith" when we roam the Commonwealth together. Makes me wish I knew that happened in my first play through, I would've roamed with that robot much sooner.

It did make me smile the first time he called me by my real name. I realised at this moment that Fallout 4 was definitely going to live up to my expectations.

Oh man, Dokkaebi– the new South Korean operator on Rainbow Six Siege –is freaking awesome. Fell in love with her on the first round playing her. Really turns the tables on an overly aggressive defense player who think they're special for running out trying to spawn camp.

Only gotten to play one round with the new Polish attacker, but having an attacker with concussion grenades is so welcome. In my one round with her, some try hard defender tried to jump outside through a second floor window to run around behind my pushing team and I hit her dead in the back with the concussion, slowing her down for the easy kill.

Still haven't gotten to use vigil much, but his ability is pretty handy for masking your exact location when enemies are droning.

Games are starting to pile up here. Just got Wolfenstein: The New Order in the mail yesterday, Doom the day before that, Dead Rising 4 coming in a day or two and Okami next week. I always use to wait until I had beaten a game before buying my next, now I don't know where to begin.

Dishonored 2 and The Evil Within 2 out of the way now. Spots of Stardew in between.

Picked up Wolfenstein: The New Order, The Old Blood and Wolfenstein II yesterday and halfway through NO again.

I think my favourite AAA publisher, outside of Sony's first party stuff, is Bethesda. No MTs, great, playable, fun single player games and feels like gaming as a teenager again. Never played so many games start to finish in a long time.

Still got everything else on the backlog, but need to clear up the good ones fast before next year's library starts.

Bethesda have begun using MTs, albeit rather unobtrusively. You can buy their virtual currency to pay for Paid Mods in both Fallout 4 and Skyrim: Special Edition. There's some pretty cool stuff available for both, actually, I not long back got a horse-themed set of Power Armour for Fallout 4.

Speaking of which, I'm wrapping up my business in Far Harbor right now... beautifully written story from them, once again.

Aye, I read that. Played the base Fallout 4 and probably won't buy any DLC. The game felt less enjoyable than 3 and New Vegas for me.

I usually only use PC mods in that version, but since spending more time modding Skyrim than I've played it (probably near 800 hours across multiple systems) I gave up on that front.

Certainly won't pay for mods anyway, but still, Bethesda seems to be the least sinister AAA pubs across the board.

I have indeed played the "default" game states of 2 and 3, for personal research. Making many of the options negative in that way, compared to a fully imported complete save, is a clever way of getting people into- and therefore buying- the earlier games.

Using a save editor, I even played a round of saves at the same time with the variables changed on each one. Some of the deaths in 3 based on dids/didn'ts for 1 and 2 are incredible.

3 got a lot of criticism for it's ending, which I won't spoil in any way, but considering the upheaval within BioWare around that time, with high profile departures and replacements and some apparent time restraints, I think it was okay. Not great, in some ways, but I use a fan made ending mod, anyway, for separate reasons.

Yeah, it was good enough that the missus, who watched me play 2, enjoyed seeing the stories of returnibg characters progress haha. She almost cried at certain parts.

I'm unashamed to admit that several moments in this series have had me in tears. They're so perfectly written and emotively voice acted and animated. BioWare, for all their faults, know good storytelling, for me.

Then again, I thought Andromeda was excellent, so what do I know?

I'm only on the third or fourth planet (the one with thr seedy bar). It's been alright, but not as immersive as previous games.

A fair assessment, I think, I can see where that comes from. Though, I played Dragon Age: Inquisition a lot in between ME3 and Andromeda so perhaps I was used to the new style of BioWare open world role playing by the time I got my hands on it.

WWE 2K18, RtG and Universe Mode mainly. Now settling in to some Mass Effect, and now I've completed Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut it's time to get into Broken Sword 2: The Smoking Mirror Remastered.

I love the Broken Sword games. Still not played 4 or 5 though.

Wolfenstein TNO and TOB done on second hardest difficulty. I'll save Uber for a dry spell.

I just got Shadow of War and Hellblade in a sale, so I might play one of those to cleanse the palate before Wolfenstein II.

Glad I was poorer earlier in the year. I saved a ton of money not buying things at release.

Wolfenstein New Order was an easy platinum. Just had to beat it twice, keep an eye out for collectibles and make sure to unlock all your perks. Now to hit Old Blood and then get back to Colossus.

Updated a bunch of move sets with the new DLC for 2k18, but didn't play long because there were no good players online. Quit 10 seconds into about 20 matches after hearing the bell ring and then seeing the immediate run spam coming, or seeing the idiotic CAWs that you just know are gonna spam and then turned the game off in favor of Rainbow Six.
